Fried Green Tomatoes

In the South, fried green tomatoes are just another southern staple that appears on our table quite frequently. Usually they are picked in the summer only, but this year we decided to plant them in the fall for a “winter” harvest.

Sometimes in Alabama the beginning of winter is very mild. This was the case this year and we were able to pick an abundance of green tomatoes along with one real beauty, a perfectly red delicious tomato.

I love using fried green tomatoes in many dishes as well as a stand alone with an awesome chipotle sauce (found in my latest cookbook). Tonight I think that I will make a fabulous BST, Bacon Shrimp and Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, as opposed to a BLT! I will keep you posted on the results, but I have no doubt that it is going to be no less than outstanding! How can these ingredients put together go wrong?

Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

Instructions

Slice the tomatoes 1/4 inch thick.

On a large plate, mix flour, salt, and pepper. On a second plate beat eggs and water together. Place bread crumbs on a third plate. Coat tomato slices into seasoned flour, then egg mixture, then bread crumbs.

In a hot sauté pan, mix butter and oil. When sizzling, place coated slices in pan for about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until tomatoes are tender. Cook in batches and add more oil if needed. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with extra salt and serve warm.
